12:12 am

I've got today's grid now but it's taken 13 minutes.

12:12 am

I feel like I crshed the system!

12:12 am

is it all better

12:12 am

nope, still lagging

12:13 am

gonna give the doc some breathing room - see you all tomorrow - good night

12:13 am

I have today's grid minus three letters

12:13 am

oh sure, now i get on. not when i have 17 words left and 30 minutes to go... :)

took me 13 min to get on - hi everyone!

12:14 am

just got back--1:1 am here; post flip

12:14 am

same here, just got on.

12:14 am

oh, gotta change!

12:15 am

flip, I guess!

12:15 am

well, it's running faster at least!

12:15 am

seems like the words are coming pretty easily

12:16 am

twasn't you jaianniah! the site was slow for over an hour...

12:16 am

okay, diving in... *splash*

12:17 am

egads, it only took two hours for me to get into this site tonight >.<

12:17 am

eureka! i finally got on!!

12:18 am

yeah, me too

12:18 am

hi everyone!!

12:18 am

can anyone hint to the ar6?

12:20 am

sorry Rish, not that far yet!

12:21 am

I have never had any trouble getting onto this site, but these past few days off and on the site is unavailable.

12:21 am

what's our icon theme for the day?

12:22 am

ch 7....

12:22 am

th 7

12:22 am

yes Cat, it's been very peculiar at times this past week. More so than usual.

12:23 am

Well, hoop-de-doo and what have we here? Having been thoroughly stymied for over an hour I've now made a START with the ARTS and I dont care who knows it so there!

12:23 am

I wonder why? I know nothing of things like this, I only know I miss my bable when it's gone :)

12:24 am

hi hetty! did you have a good afternoon? I was thinking -- Irish harp?

12:24 am

handbags, harpjane--m/f :)

12:25 am

was it just me or was the babble site dead for te past couple of hours??

12:25 am

deader than a doornail :)

12:25 am

Yup, a Celtic one. But I no longer play at all well. It's just an instrument you have to play as if you love it--stroking the strings.

12:26 am

yes, a dear friend is an excellent harpist. You would like her. I haven't had the time to try to learn, but someday... :-)

12:27 am

hi again everyone

12:27 am

i had 4 words to enter and couldn't finish , very frustrating

12:27 am

hi saphyre! I think maybe the old grid was just tired earlier...

12:27 am

hi,saphyre

12:27 am

nice to be back -- but where are lickety's f's?

12:27 am

"Farewell--but if ever you welcome the hour that awakens the night songs of love in your bower/ Remember the friend who once welcomed them too, and forgot her own griefs to be happy with you--

12:28 am

cat, was just reading your profile. I'm so sorry about your mother.

12:28 am

Stid m'dear, don't wait too long

12:28 am

12:28 am

itch

12:29 am

oops sorry

12:29 am

saph-- I saw your last post before site went down-- couldn't answer... :-|

12:29 am

*sending love and light to Cat*

12:29 am

12:29 am

how vwry thoughtful stid, thank you

12:29 am

Jill -- it takes a little while for Lickety to put up his clues. He'll log in and let us know when they're ready for us!

12:30 am

"very

12:30 am

Hi, jilli.Lickety usually takes a little while--he'll probbaly come on to the chat shortky to say he's ". up" Alan say s I have to sleep now, so see you tomorrow.

12:30 am

good night Hetty! sleep well.

12:30 am

bye Hetty :) sleep well :)

12:31 am

nite hetty

cat9x: our moms were similar age, as are we; i lost mine just over a year ago. i feel for you. i miss my mom, but do feel relief that the suffering is behind her.

12:31 am

(and good night Alan) :-)

word that isn't there that i wish was: froth

12:32 am

I am so sorry melon. It's a terrible loss, but agree, theyre suffering is over. Thats a comfort.

12:32 am

i keep wanting to find trowel

12:33 am

Long, long may our hearts with these memories be filled/ Like a vase in which roses have once been distilled--you may break, you may shatter the vase if you will/ But the scent of the roses will hang round it still. Good night all, blessings

12:33 am

The one thing that comforts me too, is that I was there when she took her last breath. As she was there when I took mine.

12:34 am

meant my first breathe

tx cat, one of my mom's legacies is my love of word games. that's why i like to drop in & babble a bit :)

12:34 am

I am a terrible typist, please excuse my mess at times

12:35 am

That's a really sweet thought cat. Never thought of it that way.

my kids grew tremendously visiting & caring for their gramma.

12:35 am

Mine too melon, my Mom loved word games, I got my love of them from her.

12:35 am

ty wassup, it meant alot to me to be there with her.

12:35 am

Cat, so far everything has been understandable! this late at night, I either start typing really slowly or I erase a whole bunch...

12:36 am

it figures, I finished a grid and my computer wouldnt load up the game again for three hours

12:36 am

hey cat - that was really beautiful

12:36 am

good morning everybody

12:36 am

12:37 am

ty debbinla

12:37 am

12:37 am

12:37 am

12:37 am

12:39 am

12:39 am

weeiiiiirrrrrrd.

12:39 am

hey I feel left out, my name would never appear! :)

12:40 am

that just means we are destined to finish today. :)

12:40 am

lol cat.

12:40 am

there is also another word that is one consonant different from the bird... I think it was in yesterday's grid as well

12:42 am

is it bad when you get stuck at the very first word? lol My brain isn't functioning.....

tx stid, hmmm that's the name of a road near me - thought it was only a proper noun - it always pays to guess.

12:42 am

My monkeys have been working overtime the last couple of days!

wa 7/44 anyone? i've got all but 3 Ws.

12:42 am

despite the rules this game seems to be full of proper nouns!

12:43 am

yikes, I am still one the U..lol

12:43 am

i keep seeing erotic, then forcing myself not to see it, but it always comes back

12:43 am

wa7 = a spendthrift

12:43 am

haha!

12:44 am

some proper nouns (names especially) were originally descriptions of landmarks or jobs... others have gone from being an inventor name to being the invention

froelica, maybe you need to go to bed? ;)

12:44 am

thanks Golux!

12:44 am

yw

12:44 am

well, in all honesty i'm always like this

12:46 am

yeah, she is....dirty minded.

ok, between an ugly bump and a ne'er-do-well is the last wa 4/8. think, melon, think!

12:46 am

ty golux!

12:47 am

its a disease, you cant hate me for it...

12:47 am

between plural ugly bumps and a ne'er-do-well, a former way of saying formerly existed

tx golux - how poetical!

ch8 - deaths in Venice

1:02 am

would you believe I had that 7 and hadn't pluraled?

1:02 am

stid, you're amazing

one thing i've learner, stidmama is it don't hurt to pluralize everything. this would be a whole 'nuther game if bad guesses were penalized.

learned - but you knew that - cant tpye

1:04 am

MORNING

1:04 am

yeah, that would be insane. we'd all have mega negative points... the point of the game would be to try to break even eventually : )

1:04 am

:-) I am just not thinking clearly this time of day... at least my typing is keeping up with my slower brain!

1:04 am

good morning Scatty! how's the weather today? how are you?

1:04 am

that is not enough hi 5/12 for me on the venice thing

1:05 am

at the moment really sunny, rained yesterday, i went to bed at 7pm, was shattered, have just woke up

stid - have you shortened the Venetian illness? there's a 6 2 7's & an 8

clever Uncagain, clever. Thomas Mann - what did they die of?

1:06 am

terrible deaths linked to stagnant water and mosquitos, still a problem in many places. thanks melonhead! I got them now!

1:06 am

ah, the light dawns, sickly though it may be

1:06 am

Thank you from me too

1:07 am

I didn't work outside at all today (Sunday) spent some time with my mother running errands, and a bit babbling, but otherwise a lost day -- too drizly for gardening fun.

1:08 am

i still have about 200 plants i'm trying to give away as i have made my hanging backets and filled about 2 dozen pots and have no more space, i can't plant in the soil as we will have to move in the near future

hey, my poppies opened this weekend! oriental type, deep cherry red, about 7" across - spectacular!

1:09 am

good for you melonhead! I have just a few this year -- I think I'll need to reseed next Spring. but they are so cheerful and bright!

1:10 am

I am sorry you will have to move -- do any of your neighbors want starts? or people at the grocery or library...

now, the last 2 CHs 6,24 & 7,36. they follow hard work.

1:10 am

I dont have the right kind of discipline for this. I find it very difficult to start in one corner and do all the words, or start with the a and go to the z

1:11 am

i have never grown poppys, i might try some next year, my petunias hace started to flower though and the tomato (cherry) are growing well

1:11 am

I don't do that Unc! I see what hits me between the eyes, then if I use the list I often start from the bottom. But i constantly scan the chat for the ones I don't have.

i tried starting the oriental poppies from seed w/no luck. started them from nursery plants, had to move them to a sunnier spot. took 3 years in all to the 1st bloom - well worth the wait. have divided them several times siince. they like dry sunny location.

also did iceland popies for the 1st time. they are colorful east bienniels - so i hear.

1:13 am

hmm, well it that is good enough for u to do, it is certainly good enough for me too

1:13 am

I think poppies might be easy for you scatty -- they do well here, so ought to be good for you. They like to grow on the side of our gravel driveway.

1:13 am

i'd better get my head down and find some words, see you later

unc - don't be too hard on yourself. have you ever played Boggle?

1:13 am

later scatty!

1:14 am

I am generally thought of as a pretty good boggler

1:14 am

iceland poppies are lovely -- they require slightly different conditions from the others... they haven't done as well for me.

1:14 am

we had to have ch***** shots in China so it's not just venetian. The bug's name is vibrio ch***** (bacteriology memory).

true, venice was a literary reference.

1:14 am

stid, i'd probably plant them at the front of the house, the ground is really shallow there, mainly rocks and rubbish in the soil

1:15 am

i'm going now, see you later

Unc - this is just boggle with a huge vocabulary & a bunch of eccentric kibbitzers.

1:15 am

see you later have fun

1:15 am

by scatty

1:15 am

morning all

1:15 am

hi oggy

1:15 am

Hi oggy

last Chs - more illness! woody guthrie's

1:16 am

well, I am not sure of my huge vocabulary, but i qualify well enough as eccentric , I think

1:16 am

looks as if the uk is waking up just when we're going to bed <g>

welcome, then!

1:17 am

hi oggy!

1:17 am

any clues anyone?

1:18 am

I have 84 to go, and can't focus on anything any more. Good night all!

1:18 am

1:19 am

Unicorn -- think of major veins and arteries and your heart...

1:19 am

2:13 am

i wish i had a stick right now i'd wallop you, little girl

2:13 am

25

2:13 am

very old jill, I don't think I have ever heard that word before. Nor do I think anyone speaks that way lol

2:14 am

let's track their ISP and contact their parents!!!

2:14 am

2:14 am

Enable dictionary has some very strange leftovers from ancient times :)

2:15 am

One of their teachers is a babbler

2:16 am

For a complete list, see http://www.bytefusion.com/products/op/ dm/enable.htm

2:16 am

oh lucinda, did you get scared?

2:16 am

what is sad is they could be learning so much being on here, and instead they choose to play games. I honestly don't recal ever acting like that, in 7th grade? Lordy.....

2:16 am

are they gone?

2:16 am

ty Jill and sprite!

2:17 am

Morning. Anyone know what today's theme is? How's the grid?

2:17 am

2:17 am

No need Dippnall, Aussies school kids. Seems to have gone quiet since Miss ABS was mentioned

2:17 am

hah. the ISP thing scared them maybe

2:17 am

*they're <vbg>

2:17 am

Certainly seems that way :)

2:17 am

excellent!!!

2:17 am

lucinda is so rude

2:18 am

scaring little kids is my favorite thing to do. i turn into a little kid myself. :) hehe

2:18 am

2:18 am

2:18 am

2:20 am

2:20 am

it's a good place to learn and to undwind

2:20 am

so what

2:20 am

I doubt that paris, you seem to know how to spell, the other didn't

2:20 am

I think I will copy the chat log and send it to Miss ABS

2:20 am

Sweetheart, it doesn't matter how many accounts you make. Your IP can be disabled serverside and it wouldn't make a lick of difference. We're tired of your games now. Goodnight.

2:20 am

I think that might be the best thing to do.

2:20 am

good idea saphyre

2:21 am

why would they talk abut them selves so rudley?

2:21 am

paris_sux don't you have anything better to do?

2:21 am

Morning!

2:22 am

2:24 am

like squirt. how can we use that q?

Hello...hello....helloo......

2:24 am

hi mattygroves

2:24 am

I think we cannot use that Q. Hi Matty :)

2:24 am

hi matty

2:24 am

is the theme pets?

I dunno - I've got my brother's dog up at the moment, but I don't know if that's the theme.

2:25 am

i never change my icon cuz i just love that jiji cat

2:25 am

The theme seemed to be little pests, not pets... ;)

2:25 am

i wish i had an orange soda right now, like crush. mmm.... i'll bust out a corona instead!

2:25 am

lol sprite

2:26 am

We have our own 'mini theme'.

2:26 am

eating mac n' cheese

2:26 am

corona sounds good

2:26 am

oooh baby!

2:27 am

where do you go to find the theme anyway?

2:27 am

Does anyone have a clue for the U-word, please? I am out of ideas.

Lickety's page profile, I think.

2:28 am

Well, completely ignoring the theme, but keeping with pets, my icon is now my daughter (not a pet) and two Komondor - the type of dog I grew up with.

Found them, Unicorn. Ar6/7 archaic mperative to express an order of dismissal.

2:48 am

hi all :)

2:48 am

Hey Ata :)

2:48 am

hi Atalante

Thanks, Sprite!

2:50 am

wow im dense thanks

2:50 am

We are not dense. We are just more used to it in the idiot -Y- spelling now, having babbled for so long ;)

2:51 am

i'm really dense because i can't think of that archaic dismissal

2:53 am

Jillibus, only reason I know it at all is that we had it a lot of times in other grids. Try this: Ar + flexible connection between two bodyparts minus first letter.

2:53 am

i was wrong all im getting for a definition is antique... but that doesn't make sense

2:53 am

unicorn, i just googled archaic article of dismissal and it helped

2:53 am

good heavens

2:54 am

got them, but never ever heard the word before

2:55 am

Remember it, it will be back ;) Also spelled with Y.

2:55 am

hmmmmm, ty sprite, will try and remember :)

2:55 am

thanks got the ar words

2:55 am

3:04 am

Good morning all.

3:04 am

Hi Haz

3:04 am

gm Haz

3:05 am

morning Haz

3:05 am

How is the grid today? Yesterday's was so friendly!

3:05 am

morning Haz! I'm back. How have you been? Have I missed lots of small grids?

3:05 am

It's friendly, but not as much as yesterday's. Some strange words and some very ancient words.

3:06 am

Good morning exWren - good to see you back! There haven't been any monster grids while you've been away.

3:07 am

ExWren, wb! We just said a couple of days ago we had so many grids without -RE- and that you would have loved them all.

3:09 am

morning sprite. pity I couldn't take my PC with me! I'm sure hubby would have loved me babbling all day while we were on holiday!

3:10 am

Hehe, nothing wrong with going cold turkey for a while. I don't take my laptop with me on holidays either :)

3:10 am

eeeeee! for all cat lovers: http://www.deviantart.com/view/3424220 3/

3:11 am

Owwwwww!

3:12 am

awww :) Wonderful pic!

3:12 am

And fireworks as well :) Any clues needed before I split?

3:13 am

that guy breeds Norwegian Forest Cats - he takes the most *amazing* photos of them all!

3:13 am

congrats sprite!

3:13 am

Beautiful kind of cat too.

3:13 am

yes, cat -- have you found lw 4/8?

3:14 am

they are gorgeous cats! The one on the right looks like my Nikki!

3:14 am

and talking of cats, why isn't tortie allowed!!

3:14 am

lw? yikes, now I will go look :)

3:15 am

i'm half asleep - sprite got fireworks already??? so you know the lw?

3:16 am

Lw4 is a currency, another babblet.

3:16 am

I don't know ata, it should be!

3:17 am

my monkey is busy typing away, lw , hmmmm

3:17 am

got lw by looking at the list <blush>

3:17 am

It needs two different vowels, Cat.

3:18 am

ty sprite

3:19 am

no shame in looking at the list or getting help jilli. I never get one quarter of these words without some help

3:19 am

What list do you mean, jillibus? Lickety's page?

3:19 am

100 lw** = 1 kwanza in Angola. Aren't you glad you asked?

3:20 am

The A-Z list on Lickety's page

3:20 am

my monkey hasn't found it yet

LW?!

3:21 am

When I started babbling, someone told me (I believe it was Atalante) that only looking up the actual words through a solver was considered cheating. All the rest was... research :)

How do you mean a solver?

3:22 am

my monkey is getting tired lol

3:22 am

me? wow, I'm clever sometimes :) But I agree - how are you meant to learn without be interested and looking stuff up!

3:22 am

Cat, tell your monkey to go hunt vowels only. There aren't too many possibilities then :)

3:23 am

he is, maybe he isn't too bright? lol

3:23 am

he is, maybe he isn't too bright? lol

3:23 am

he is, maybe he isn't too bright? lol

3:23 am

yikes, sorry

3:24 am

I have lost track of how many words I learned through babble. I usually look up the def of words that I do not know too. It is fun ;)

3:24 am

matty, there are some online solvers that solve entire grids.

3:35 am

Shows you've had too much sleep, Ata :)

3:35 am

No, it just proves you have a superior brain to all of us, Ata ;)

3:36 am

sadder that i 've forgotten my organic chem & biochem

3:36 am

Thanks sprite! That did it.

3:36 am

or spent too many years studying chemistry!

3:37 am

It's not the studying, Ata, it's the remembering that makes that brain superior :)

7:38 am

mia - there's a th4/5 that sounds like a man's name

7:39 am

cheers haz :)

7:39 am

Any clues on the W7?

7:39 am

to4/5 - add the first two letters of Miss Ball's name (not Zoe!)

7:40 am

Miss Ball?! lol. who?

7:40 am

was married to Desi

7:40 am

no idea who that is either.

I *feel* that Hewitt against Nadal has the chance of a fruit fly in May on a Fruit Bat farm in the tropics with little more than one fruit to go around!

7:40 am

mother of little ricky

I love L****

7:40 am

...in the sky with diamonds

7:40 am

redhead comedian

7:41 am

Or one of the characters in Charlie Brown.

7:41 am

i'm english! we don't have i love l*** over here :P

7:41 am

You're obviously too young, miametro!

7:41 am

lol. got it now. still a stupid word tho ;p

7:41 am

still lurking....what about the fl8 & w7?

7:42 am

Any clues on the 'fl' 8?

7:42 am

Noone can help with the WA7?

7:42 am

That to4 is the name of a cleaning product over here :)

7:42 am

dont have it yet merk

7:42 am

tolu

7:42 am

Sorry - not get either of those yet.

7:43 am

oops

7:43 am

mrp, hewitt's ok but I do love me some rafa!!

7:43 am

is there any deduction on wrong guesses?

7:43 am

CJ, the wa7 means spendthrift... it works off the 4/8 before it

rafa is my hunka hunka spanish onion!!

7:43 am

cze-if there were we would all be at minus a gazillion

7:43 am

czes, no, thank goodness!!!!

7:44 am

good.

7:44 am

mrp, LOL!!!

7:44 am

thanks jen!

fl8 comes of the f5 - on top of the water more than the rest

7:44 am

mrp-wipe the drool off the keyboard before it shorts out

7:44 am

Thanks Jen for the wa7.

7:44 am

YW Eva! (and good morning all BTW!) :)

7:45 am

what's the word that starts with "un"?

7:45 am

any clues?

7:45 am

Oh, I just got the fl8. Strange word. You can tell from those before and after what five letters it has to start with, then it ends with a comparative suffix.

7:45 am

un5 doesn't work out at the gym

7:45 am

un5: out of shape

7:45 am

Wo-hoo! Half way through and I haven't even gone to the list yet. :)

7:46 am

second clue? :-)

wa7 - one who spends too much on prada handbags!!

7:46 am

fl 8 comes after what you do in the water or a root beer fl*. But it comes before what the ice cream is in the fl* I cannot find a new ending on the fl 5 to make the fl 8

7:46 am

thanks mrp!!! Merp seems to have moved from rage into a deep depression. I really shouldn't torture him this way. Please don't report me. I'll make it up to him later by playing with dental floss (his favorite)

7:46 am

bye! (for real this time)

7:47 am

Merk - make the fl5 more so.

7:49 am

right popping out for a few mins will be back to tackle the Tr's :-D

7:50 am

Thanks, Haz. Haz to the rescue again!

7:50 am

Glad to help, Merk!

Are we on go slow again...

7:51 am

The site is okay for me - are you having problems, matty?

7:51 am

Gotta go and do some work. BBL :-)

7:51 am

Bye Katie!

Bye all for real!! Hewitt need my support! ((Go Nadal))... did I say that??

7:53 am

Talk about divided loyalties. You'll be happy no matter who wins!

this keyboard has a mind of it's own!! ciao!

Yah - I had a 'word couldn't be added' message, and it's slow again.

7:54 am

Oh dear - hopefully it won't spread. It's so frustrating.

8:00 am

i had those errors all night last night...finally just gave up...

8:00 am

Sometimes words aren't registering in the tile stats. My T on the top line went from 1/7 to 5/7 when I refreshed the page.

is the site acting up again? i won't even play today if it is....hi everyone...

8:02 am

ahhh what the f/8 please?

8:02 am

fo 4/8 sorry

8:02 am

Hi templeowl

8:02 am

It was acting up very badly earlier on and I couldn't get back on for ages. It is unpredictable.

8:03 am

hi Haz

8:03 am

Good morning, everyone. How's the grid today?

8:03 am

Hi BGL Off and on

8:03 am

fo plus the start of Mr Kissinger's name, minus the vowel.

8:03 am

does anyone know if dr_g thinks he can fix it?

i have managed to finish despite - but my rankin gis still going down - i think i'll pass for now.

8:04 am

I haven't been in touch, Atalante, and don't know if others have contacted him.

8:05 am

I hope he can *sighs*

8:05 am

An alternative clue for fo4/8 would be to have the same ending as JFK's first name.

8:05 am

I hope he can as well!!

8:07 am

thanks haz

8:09 am

Glad to help M3 - you sounded a little frustrated with it....

8:09 am

yeah i was fours i easy to guess normaly x

8:11 am

I wish Silverclaw would realise that I can't magic cat food out of thin air, and that she'll just have to wait for a few hours for the nice Tesco's delivery to come!!

8:13 am

I've never had a cat, but judging from the comments of the cat owners, they certainly make their food requirements known!

8:13 am

she has food in her bowl, just not her *preferred* food LOL

8:14 am

Having had 2 cats I firmly believed they owned me, not the other way.

8:14 am

Morning, all. No cats here, but the dog will flip his empty dish and roll it around the kitchen to bring it's sad state to my attention.

8:14 am

And I suppose the phrase ' Beggars can't be choosers' will mean nothing to her!

8:14 am

mine are the same way Atalante! they always have dry food set out, but they want the wet food...

8:14 am

I think it was Matty who said to me that dogs have masters, cats have staff.

8:15 am

true haz -- cats arent beggars, they are demanders! hehe

8:15 am

for once LOL this is the other way round - she has wet food and wants her dry food!

8:15 am

my friend has a magnet on her fridge that says "there is no such thing as a cat owner"

8:15 am

I was definitely the staff including the entire family.

8:15 am

We also used to have a rabbit who wouldn't eat the cheap pellets but *had* to have the expensive stuff from a distant pet supply store.

8:15 am

tith

8:16 am

*oopsie*

8:16 am

Well, we all have our favorite foods too.

8:16 am

I wonder do cats get together and compare notes on how well they have manipulated the humans?

8:17 am

Sily's just a year old - so she's moving from kitten food to adult food - the wet food is kitten food, the dry food is Adult "I am a Big Cat" food ...

8:17 am

evan you could of done a word that in the dictionary!!!!!!

8:17 am

I don't know about being a dog's master. When mine returns from a weekend at the kennel (as today), he won't even LOOK at me until I've groveled, scratched, offered treats, and generally apologized for even being here. you've not been insulted until you've been ignored by the dog.

8:17 am

if they do, they just sit about and laugh at us, im sure!

8:18 am

shush up shorty...hehe.... ;)

8:18 am

LOL

8:19 am

cats just generally ignore you. until they need something from you... but then they still let you know that the only reason you are worthy oftheir attention is because they need you for a moment, then they will go back to ignoring you...

8:19 am

Exactly, evan

8:20 am

Charm - how long does the dog go on punishing you?

8:23 am

anyone have a clue for the N on the right?

8:24 am

my dog is looking like I hate her and have ignored her all day ... silly thing. she's only had hours of cuddles and food and a kong full of doggie chocolate and gravy bones adn a long walk ....

8:24 am

Haz - it lasts about half the day, then he recovers by the time my husband comes home and is acting normally. My husband never believes me when I describe Wolfie's earlier behavior!

8:24 am

ni & 2000 lbs

8:25 am

thanks saphyre!

8:25 am

yw :)

8:26 am

ok, time to go get work done, but hopefully ill be back later!!

8:26 am

Well, at least it's not for too long. We've never experienced that with our dog, but then we've always had family looking after her when we are on holiday, so maybe that makes the difference.

8:26 am

bye evanadine

8:26 am

Bye evanadine - have a good day.

8:27 am

our dog won't even look at us for a day or two when we leave him

8:28 am

TR5/10? got what a horse does

8:28 am

Oh, he's a great dog. he just gets miffed about being left. He'll come home and check out all his toys, play with the baby, then nap-nap-nap.

8:28 am

tr5/10 - a characteristic element

8:28 am

tr5/10 = characteristic

8:29 am

And if you put an s in front, you have a jacket fit for escapologists

8:29 am

TR5/10 a horse's gait

8:32 am

whoops got that already I meant the TR18 :)

8:34 am

i have two of those they are both plural of a tr5/10

8:35 am

tr5/18 - I generally think of slinking through bars or a type of slow fishing, I guess.

8:35 am

but both of mine are 6/18...

8:36 am

Thanks charm - that gave me the tr5/18

8:36 am

charm many thanksies

8:37 am

8:37 am

8:38 am

8:38 am

It's quite a nice grid today, I think. I'm just about to leave it to get a few chores done, but have got 130 pretty normal words.

8:39 am

9:16 am

Morning,all. For those who like to learn new words, the ol 4 (spelled with either "e" or "i") means a blend; it signifies not only margarine but also the pre-show act in vaudeville in which each performer introduced himself /herself to the audience by means of a brief sample of his/her performing skill

9:17 am

lw a currency

9:17 am

hello

9:17 am

9:19 am

not too bad, have just moved my daughter closer to home, would have preferred to have done the garden today, its lovely outside, i'm not sure why i'm sitting indoors

I don't have a tr 4/7, just a tr 4/5

9:20 am

its Banto origin very hard to clew

oh, sorry, I got lost in the middle somewhere!!

9:20 am

got it!

9:20 am

I monkey typed

jeez, I'm backwards today, I was looking at the th's

tr 4/7 - spell like abrev. for someone who calls the shots in sports games (white and black striped suit)

Um...like a four letter music word (bass c***, treble ****) but change the forst letter.

9:24 am

thanks matty & bunny!

I'm being dumb, and shall have to be slapped with a fish - but I'm missing one of the tr5/10 - I have the one that's a characteristic, and the one that's a pace that horses or dogs might use...

9:34 am

Good morning, hurshy

9:35 am

hi hurshy, long time no see

hursh, having a hard time with the ch's? They are a pain today.

try ch 5/14 - assigned housework, ch 6/24 - add the latin vowel endind to the 5/14, then plural for the 7/36

9:39 am

my latin needs inprovement

9:39 am

great clues bunnyv

thx

9:40 am

ty also

They aren't latin, it's a disorder. The other big ch's are a disease. The c's are sickly today.

I knew I was being stupid!

did you get the tr?

9:45 am

i think its a pretty sad comment that i just had to get out some clorox wipes and clean the dust off of my own desk... we have a cleaning crew...what are they getting paid for?!

9:45 am

haw many c (without the h) are there?

there are two ci's

9:46 am

Thank you

he he Eva, you remind me of my husband!!

9:49 am

well, i waited long enough to give them ample opportunity to clean it up...i realize my desk is rather messy, but i prefer not to keep it flat out DIRTY! i swear, all they do is come in + empty the garbage cans -- and sometimes they dont even give you a new can liner, they just dump out the contents of the trash + put the can back with the old, dirty liner! and god forbid you ask them to vaccuum!

9:49 am

any clues on the ci's? i have the one that's like money, but not.

lol, I guess people get away with doing the least amount of work they can for the money they get.

What could these Th's be - I have the small one, the one with too many vowels (th4/5), the one that one may have a sore of if they smoke too much

ci 6/21 - ci + sounds like what you pay at a booth ci 4/5 - ci + opp of off

9:51 am

i hate when that happens at my office evanadine. i have used teabags in my can for days sometimes!

9:51 am

any clues for the last st5/10?

st 5/10 - st + ***s and barley

9:52 am

i actually have spots on my carpet that were sticky (now they are hardened) where they have spilled maple syrup that had been in my trashcan from breakfast -- all because they dont take the whole bag out, they just dump the contents... its pretty nasty

9:53 am

I have the ***s and barly st5 already.

9:53 am

Angel- the place where you buy something

9:53 am

i have one after that, it's what you do to food if you want to keep it. or the name of a shop.

9:53 am

can i get more clues for the ci 6/21?

9:53 am

a place where you buy things... and something a theif did...

the th 4/5 with to many vowels, add a cons (tall one)for the th 5/12

ci 6/21 - ci + cross + another word for old

9:54 am

thanks bunny :)

th 5/20 - past tnse of what a pitcher does with a ball

9:55 am

I have the one for the shop also....and the one for the theif's action

9:55 am

st + vowel, vowel, vowel

The th 5/20's are identical except for the vowel

9:56 am

phantom words for today: short and shorten. unf.

9:57 am

mine are satire and froth

Sorry, the st 4/4, add a vowel at the end for both st 5/10's

Sorry, the st 4/4, add a vowel at the end for both st 5/10's

9:59 am

10:17 am

Hey abe and Munner!

10:18 am

dis--one fi is a bird and the other is trhe for of a polecat--like a slang term for stealing . Add a "ch" to the word for a proper fi* of a garment

10:18 am

the bird is often prefixed with "chaf"

10:19 am

thank you hetty! got 'em!

10:20 am

done. about 90 mins.

10:20 am

YAY, scraggly!!!

10:20 am

what's a polecat?

10:21 am

Hi, smithchick. How are things in Arkansas?

10:21 am

Oh, Uni, a polecat is a skunk!

10:21 am

thank you i didn't know that

10:21 am

its a kind of ferret

10:22 am

Okay, I've got to go to girls' camp tomorrow...Fortunately, it's not as hot as it could be. How are you? Are you in treatment?

10:22 am

but if u are buying an st5/10, it is not a skunk , it is a fi***

10:23 am

Been there, done that, and most of the time it was really fun. One year we even got to do rapelling and whitewater rafting.

10:23 am

It is fun, except that every once in a while someone didn't properly tarp there tent and became drenched in a torrential downpour!

10:24 am

How's that for some mixing of the tenses,there!

10:25 am

I start chemo again tomorrow for three cycles. Not looking forward to it, but hope the end result will be good. My nurse sister says this time it will be like putting my hand back in the blender! since I know how awful the side effects are.

10:27 am

Munner, my heart is with you. I wish the very best for you .

10:27 am

best of luck Munner

10:27 am

I hate that for you, Munner...I know some people who can actually go through it with no side effects. Boggles the mind. I hope it does what it is supposed to and you don't suffer too much for it:) How long do the cycles last?

10:28 am

best of luck Munner

10:30 am

stupid chat log

10:32 am

Thinking of you, Munner dear. I have a good friend going through this--she says the radio therapy she is on now is worse than chemo, and no ine cn explain why some suffer so much more than others with the same therapy. It takes all your courage. We all support you. Lift up your heart

10:32 am

10:35 am

Take heart Munner! Even the stupd chatlog reinforces what I tried in vain to enter a few minutes ago. Signs.

10:38 am

sumone pinched my word list lol

10:41 am

Thank you all for kind wishes. I have to take steroids the day before treatment, the day of, and the day after so will probably be hitting the puzzle in the wee hours of the night. Then I get zapped, but it may be better this time as I have had 9 months off, actually 6 months since radiation.

10:41 am

clue on we 4/11?

10:47 am

are we still here?

10:49 am

we 4/11- grain on a fabric...sounds like "to have cried" but with a different consonant

10:52 am

definitely check in with us munner, let us know how you are doing

10:52 am

I hate it when I can't get back on! Especially in the middle of a conversation!

10:54 am

At least it's taking words again.

10:54 am

just logging on and what I can see from the chat... {{{Munner}}}

10:55 am

Hi, stidmama

10:55 am

hi stidmama. site is funky right now

10:55 am

so I gather, abe! it was strange last night too before the flip. and then it was okay for a while...

10:56 am

Morning Stid my love. Yes, its funky today. But a workable grid, methinks

10:56 am

I noted with some interest a new thread on BA having to do with Babblers' Blogs. is there any objection to my including a section for Babblers' Blogs on the Resource page?

10:56 am

yes, I got down to 83 to go before I got tired last night. Still listless, so hopeful this will not take the entire day.

10:56 am

it seems to be going quickly so far...

10:57 am

Hi Angelsong! it's an interesting thought -- I think it might be fun to see what others write...

10:57 am

i love reading blogs, angelsong, i think it's a nice idea

10:57 am

stid i just had trouble connecting, now the words wont go in

10:57 am

smithchick, let me try this once again. Back to camping--I had never gone camping as a kid. When we lived in Germany, my husband and I bought a huge tent and took a 3 week camping trip through Germany, ferried to Denmark and up through Sweden. It gave us some great memories.

10:58 am

oh oggy, things were bad when I first logged in, but seem better now. I have no idea why the site has been so strange recently -- I know IronSudoku has also had some trouble.

10:58 am

We had three kids, 8, 3, and 1. It was about this time of year and our little 1 year old Lars would wake up about 2 am because the sun came up then and he wouldn't go back to sleep.

10:59 am

stid its ok now

11:00 am

{{{{{stid}}}} I just now managed to get back into the site

11:00 am

Munner, that sounds like our Matthew! he has always been up with the sun (except for now that he's a teen...)!

11:00 am

it just kicked me off

11:00 am

Could I have a clue for the TH6/21 that isn't to intimidate someone or what you swallow with plz (hiya oggy!)

11:00 am

hi Daisy!

11:01 am

I think I'd better explain that I have had to take some Benadryl for hives -- they seem to still be spreading, so I may have to take more. If my posts get rambling.... you'll know why! :-)

11:01 am

Understood, stid

11:02 am

phone

11:02 am

And I'm finished YEAH!!!! Now I can go mow the yard

11:02 am

Hey stid and daisy! and jakes-mum who I haven't seen in forever! That sounds like a wonderful experience, Munner. I'd never be able to get by hubby to do it. He was in the National Guard for a little

11:02 am

hi everyone, any report on what was up last night?

11:03 am

yay faeriekae!

11:03 am

Oops...He was in the National Guard for a little while and developed a deep, abiding hatred for camping (unless it is in an RV).

11:03 am

Oops...He was in the National Guard for a little while and developed a deep, abiding hatred for camping (unless it is in an RV). YAY, faerie!!!!!!!!!

I apologize for all the server problems. It's been a bad weekend for the server. And I'm sorry to report, the root of the problem still has not been discovered. I still have my spelunking cap on, however...

11:19 am

ty

11:20 am

server spelunking ... sounds like a dangerous occupation!

11:20 am

Thanks Dr God I thought my computer was playing up again!

11:20 am

Is spelunking a word we should try to remember? Will it be in enable??

11:21 am

I like that word!!!

11:22 am

Hi Haz

11:23 am

I have updated my icon -- it's the purse my mother got me for my birthday last week --- I love it. Even little place on the side for water bottles!

At long last stidmama we went away in our caravan last weekend and ended up to our knees in mud!!

11:29 am

TO -- could I have clues for the ones you already have?

11:29 am

I just updated some of the software on the server, and I'm going to have to reboot it now. The site should return shortly. (Hopefully not more than 5-10 minutes.)

11:29 am

great clue, Haz.. hello to all! I just had to lurk today for the sake of expediency; it is so nice out today that I can't wait to go play in the mud! Fireworks tell me I can do so now.. anyone need a clue or two before I go?

Good afternoon. Back to see if I can finish the last 50 words. How's everyone else doing?

12:10 pm

Hi BGL Ive finished.Its not too bad today

12:11 pm

alright bgl, 44 left. it's coming along...

12:11 pm

I've just added Babblers'Blogs, a new hit counter, and a new search tool to the Resource pages....

12:12 pm

Angelsong I would be lost without your pages Thanks

12:13 pm

I would give you my blog url, but its friends locked so there ain't much point unless people are on LJ and I can give them access!

12:15 pm

this is one of my best grids ever, i'm doing really well

12:15 pm

Go hurshy Go !!!!!!!

12:16 pm

the grid was fairly easy today....I'm hoping the site will behave better with Dr G's tweak this morning.

12:16 pm

hi babblers.

12:17 pm

easy? :( oh i thought i was improving

12:17 pm

Hi Annie

12:19 pm

hi annie

12:20 pm

Can someone answer a question please.... Why do you loose points by not finishing a grid?? I couldnt yesterday because of site problems

12:21 pm

caitlyn, have you read the rankings explanation? it's an average of the percent of points you get on your puzzles... better for rank not to play at all than to partially play

12:21 pm

I'm back and trying to put in all the words that I couldn't enter earlier. It's the 1st beautiful day in a looong stretch and I'm inside. Thitting in my thoft chair. I could une help w/th words.

12:21 pm

there's a formula for scoring on the rankings page, however, it is rough to be penalyzed for not finishing when there are 'technical difficulties'

12:21 pm

hi gramma

12:22 pm

Or use help? Hi abe

12:22 pm

Thanks hurshy

12:24 pm

i'll give you a weird one gramma. th 6/21 - th + anagram for what you mix with vinegar to make dressing + another vowel (clue courtesy of haz)

12:24 pm

I need 3. I think they're toward the top of the list. Somewhere around the sulfar and theoar lock

12:25 pm

TY that was one I was missing

12:25 pm

TY abe...shall we plead with Dr God !!!!!!!!

12:26 pm

it's unfortunate, definitely. i didn't babble yesterday ( i made a deal with hubby), but other babblers had problems and couldn't finish also

12:26 pm

ok - the vinegar clue isn't cutting it for me - I've tried every combination I can come up wiht

12:26 pm

yeah that clue is a bit off

12:27 pm

the trick is, cadfan (it took me awhile too) is the incorporate the vinegar partner with the other vowel. let me see if i can think of another way to state it

12:27 pm

you should put th + vowel + the anagram

12:27 pm

thanks hurshy

12:27 pm

and start from the lower t

12:28 pm

thoiol

12:28 pm

4 th vowel

12:28 pm

with that said, i'm going to lunch now. see you all later

12:28 pm

sorry! not it

12:28 pm

hmm.. then then I am thinking of the wrong this to mix with vinegar

12:29 pm

LOL gramma Bye abe

12:29 pm

may i please have a hint for the re8/55?

12:29 pm

gramma - I'm trying the same thigns you are...

12:29 pm

cadfan if you tried that then you are thinking of the right thing to mix with vinegar

12:29 pm

re+ what a boat does + plural

12:29 pm

a boat other than the titanic that is...

12:29 pm

okay - then I'm just not coming up with the right combos

12:30 pm

gramma was really close! I finally got it. First three letters are correct, then mix up the last.

12:30 pm

thanks cadfan..wasn't thinking.

12:30 pm

it's very greek looking if that helps

12:30 pm

okay - I got it.. I was trying to make the anagram start with a vowel

12:30 pm

I got the 5/12. I was looking for the 6. the 5 is th + 1st person pronoun and the 1st 2 letters of a Spanish cheer

12:30 pm

LOL good one Hurshy!

12:31 pm

gramma the six is th + vowel + different anagram than you used for the 5

12:33 pm

Now that was a mouthful. Got it, ty

12:36 pm

Im really excited ..Im going tomorrow evening to see Dame Shirley Bassey on her farewell tour!!

12:37 pm

you know it's really unfair they never let us have any alien species on here

12:38 pm

oooh so close to having tolerate

12:39 pm

Do you mean me hurshy?

12:39 pm

not even men. alien, yes. enough letters, no :(

12:39 pm

no, i mean i wanted "horta" and "tolerate"

12:39 pm

lol ata

12:40 pm

i'm glad you're excited though caitlyn, even though i have no idea who dame shirley bassey is

12:42 pm

and we could almost get tolerant and intolerant

12:42 pm

hurshy, maybe this will help. shirley bassey is the singer who does the background singing for the movie "goldfinger"---james bond movie

12:42 pm

enjoy the show, caitlyn

12:42 pm

i've heard of goldfinger

12:43 pm

Are you kidding? One of the greatest Welsh + international singers ever!! Have you heard her sing Gold fing ..Big Spender.+hundreds of others Thanks Annie

12:50 pm

Sorry hurshy if i sounded a bit snappy then

12:51 pm

it's ok i'm sure i always sound snappy when people don't know much about star trek :)

12:52 pm

Well im done for then because i dont!!

12:53 pm

lol it's ok as long as you don't say "star track" or ask what the difference between star trek and star wars is

12:53 pm

LOL

12:54 pm

Is there a difference?!?!? :)

12:54 pm

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK

12:54 pm

you're so mean BGL

12:54 pm

OOOOOOOH BGL

12:55 pm

torturing a poor little hursh like that

12:55 pm

Dame S B what a woman!! Sung the theme tune to many a 007 James bond Movie, nevermind her career. My parents saw her singling live way back when, just before she was dicovered.

12:56 pm

THere's a reason I love Spaceballs so much... I don't really care for Star Wars or Star Trek. I remember in elem school watch Trouble with Tribbles several times as a "reward" for good behavior...

12:56 pm

I saw her perform over here in the states. she is wonderful.

12:56 pm

ah, tribbles :)

12:56 pm

i liked galaxy quest though

12:56 pm

I have found a fellow admirer FMitch Can i suggest her as a icon theme?

12:57 pm

I would put her up as an icon. She has a wonderful voice.

12:57 pm

i'll pass that suggestion on to babbler caitlyn

12:57 pm

Course you can caitlyn - the voice, those legs and the dresses!!!

12:57 pm

Hey HAz!!!

12:58 pm

Good evening - finally we meet!

12:58 pm

LOL for a Monday it has just been so busy!!!

12:58 pm

12:58 pm

Are you babbling or not FMitch?

12:59 pm

I in***** you, fellow babblers, what are the in's before that word. IN6 and 7 please.

12:59 pm

well it's booked up quite far in advance caitlyn but i'll ask her to switch it around

12:59 pm

Not babbling, only just finished work and am to knacked to be honest, just thought I would have a quick look at the chat and got sucked in (of course)

12:59 pm

gramma - one's a preposition, one's a unit of measurement

1:00 pm

i still need two i's so i don't know if there are more there

1:00 pm

Thanks hurshy........I must go to get supper catch you all tomorrow...Happy babbling all Bye

1:00 pm

It's disastrous to just have a look FMitch! The site has been acting up today so I'm just glad to get the chance to finish (hopefully)

1:00 pm

gramma~ in+to4 (then plural)

1:01 pm

hurshy, I have the 4 letter 1's. I need the biggies. Are your clues still correct for those?

1:01 pm

1:02 pm

TY. Got 'em

1:02 pm

1:02 pm

Bye caitlyn Haz, what with the site playing up and being so tired popping into the site for 10 mins is not going to make me play (I know I speak evil by saying that) LOL

1:02 pm

13 left and the sun is going behind the clouds again 8(

1:02 pm

I need 2 r's (probably both fish words) I need an ra (I have the animal) and the re5/10

1:03 pm

the other ra is also an animal, as atalante taught me :) it's a funny way to spell a sea creature - lotsa vowels

1:03 pm

told you you'd never forget that again!

1:03 pm

re 5/10... add the beginning of the name of the fine babbler i just mentioned :)

1:03 pm

But there are some lovely words...... and lots of points to be had...... and you know you really want to...... Just relax thisevening, it sounds as though you've earned it FMItch!

1:04 pm

ATALANTE - can you help me with the sea critter??

1:05 pm

BGL, boy am I glad you asked that. I looked and it wasn't there. I had entered a bunch earlier on licketys list, when the site wasn't working. Then I forget to transfer them.

1:05 pm

Thank you... I shall never forget that sea creature! :)

1:06 pm

Haz,I thought you were my friend!!! LOL I will not ben enticed in. just happy to chat for a little while and wind down.

1:07 pm

or BGL - help me to remember the sea critter too?

1:07 pm

evening all. 72 left, but all the evil vowels are finished. horray!

1:07 pm

1:08 pm

atalante - ty ty ty ty - got it (is that afish for me<, as well?)

1:08 pm

Completely stuck on the ch8/50. Any clues please?

1:08 pm

9 left. CI 6?

1:09 pm

yay for gramma

1:10 pm

begin like a class of fruits and end with the spanish cheer

1:10 pm

hydra, it's a (water i think) disease, plural. think there was a book called "love in the times of ch*****" as well.

1:10 pm

ch8/60 is a plural form of a nasty disease, particularly associated with poor sanitation

1:10 pm

Hydra --- think of the book "Love in the Time of "CH*****"

1:10 pm

wow miametro and kkiln are really on the same wavelength

1:10 pm

hurshy, ty, ty, ty!

1:10 pm

Great clue Haz!!

1:10 pm

hehe. i'm a big fan of books :)

1:11 pm

no thank you gramma you got me to know it was there!

1:11 pm

I don't know that book! Will have to Google it. Does the ch7 word follow on from it (the 2nd one?)

1:12 pm

It takes away the last vowel (ch7)

1:13 pm

Got it!!!!!

1:17 pm

RE 5/16 Re 7 and RE 8. Then I can go out and play.

1:18 pm

1:52 pm

well me too apparently.

1:52 pm

clue for the 3rd fo4,7 please

1:52 pm

i've found so many st's already...it's hard to find any more

1:52 pm

emsuing - how do you know you need the third?

1:53 pm

wa 7/44: aperson who takes.spends.uses more than they need, and doesn't use all of it.... hurshy, that is for you and mia

1:54 pm

oh stidmama, i was responding to hetty. but thanks anyway :)

1:54 pm

just found it. but thanks stidmama :)

1:54 pm

i just need 5's and 6's

1:54 pm

the third fo4/7 is the place fo**ified against invaders

1:54 pm

S, F, and L

1:54 pm

no it isn't hetty

1:54 pm

that's the fourth

1:54 pm

oh -- sorry, this Benadryl has me really out of it. :-( but still finding words!

1:54 pm

the third is what you yell about your golf ball coming

1:54 pm

...unless you mean the word that looks like flowers wirthut the "l"

1:55 pm

but since the first 2 are the weird ones i wonder if emsuing doesn't really want the third anyway

1:55 pm

ha. i just typed in 'fowl' totally convinced it was there.

1:57 pm

hurshy, i think i need the third according to the babblecluey thing?

1:57 pm

i jsut got it though!

1:57 pm

In that case, em, it's the word like flowery without the l

1:58 pm

thanks

1:58 pm

both l's Glad you got it, em

1:58 pm

hetty -- I finall got the idea! emsuing, It's LATING for "flower" then two plural, one Latin one English

2:00 pm

meant "Latin" grrr.

2:03 pm

196 palmlady

2:04 pm

missing the very last ho 5/12. before the opp. of cold.

2:04 pm

2:05 pm

miametro do you mean the jewish dance?

2:05 pm

It sounds like an equine mixed with a Scandanavian man (ho5/12)

2:05 pm

got it :)

2:05 pm

i had a date like that once, Haz. ;-)\

2:06 pm

Once being the operative word!

2:06 pm

indeed!

2:06 pm

ci 6/21 please/

2:06 pm

stid, soooo sorry! hives are unpleasant. I've just got an eyelid that's puffy and red-violet -- quite attractive :)

2:06 pm

ci + rhymes with what you pay on the highway

2:07 pm

thanks ABE

2:07 pm

me too, ty Abe

2:07 pm

hives are rotten... i am allergic to the sun... which is even worse than my penicillin allergy

2:08 pm

is there a word between something a thief does and a shop in the st's?

2:08 pm

hi kids.

2:08 pm

hi boreetos

2:08 pm

oh mich, I am so sorry -- have you tried putting a cold teabag (real tea, not herbal!) on it?

2:08 pm

mia --not in my list there isn't, but I'm not sure

2:08 pm

hi boreetos

2:08 pm

2:08 pm

2:09 pm

st/5 stuffed with***** stuffed with hay

2:09 pm

hi boreetos

2:10 pm

thanks, stid & jbp -- I did the teabag last night & it seemed better, but this morning, all puffy again -- I like the witch hazel idea. Can't breathe well either, but the eye is most annoying

2:11 pm

have you tried taking a benadryl? sure, it'll make you sleepy, but it will calm down the itch

2:11 pm

have you flushed your nasal passages with salt water? Sometimes that helps with airborne allergies....

2:11 pm

handbag theme today? I'm still representing pretzels from like a month ago. :)

2:11 pm

eek i said a word!!! i'm looking for an ar 6 word

2:11 pm

sig of the ar 7

2:12 pm

jbp, I am sorry you are allergic to the sun. completely? or just have to avoid it as much as possible?

2:12 pm

also, chocolate helps. ok, not really, but, at least you get to have some chocolate!

2:12 pm

hi, clue for in7,28, thanks

2:12 pm

luckily this is the absolute worst time of year for me allergy wise -- I'm taking claritin and chlortrimeton (sp?) on top of that when it's too much itchy itchy -- it's more painful than itchy --- (perks up ears) Chocolate???!!! Good idea!

2:12 pm

good morning everybody!

2:12 pm

2:15 pm

oh, jbp, I'm sorry to hear that, too. I'm of the pasty celtic freckled variety, but do okay with spf 30 -- the sun helps with the S.A.D. that affects so many of us in the Pac. N.W.

2:15 pm

ok, don't get me wrong, i still go out. I just sleep soundly afterwards (b/c of benadryl). we have a gi-normous raspberry thicket in our backyard and I'll be stained, hived and scrathced once they come out

2:17 pm

especially celtic.

2:17 pm

I am very fair skinned, but rarely burn and never freckle... :-) though as I get older my skin is less peaches and cream than wrinkled and tired...

2:17 pm

2:17 pm

Morning fran. You've got the sign, I've got the bag.

2:17 pm

2:20 pm

its weird, I lived in California for the first 18 years of my life and never could keep a tan, i would just burn and peel. I move to Seattle, land of grey skies and rain, and now tan sticks like glue. It's quite odd.

2:33 pm

yes, i need a 5/10, anyway une

2:34 pm

oh, sorry

2:34 pm

a lot of them require pronouncing ch the greek way - a disease and related words

2:34 pm

The latin plural can be given a different vowel ending again.

2:35 pm

brilliant, thanks haz!

2:35 pm

hi haz!

2:35 pm

i don't get the latin plural clue?

2:35 pm

Good afternoon boreetos - are you well?

2:36 pm

do you mean of layers?

2:36 pm

struggling with the fl 5/16, 8/55, 6/27 are they a "set"?

2:36 pm

crapola*, i gotta get back to work. thanks for the chat all! say hi to P-town for me Mich! fine haz! thanks! be back in a few hours.

2:36 pm

yes stid... dead fish do this belly-up

2:37 pm

later boreetos!

2:37 pm

st4/4 (greek colonnade) can have a latin plural ending st5/10 or st5/10 end with a different vowel

2:37 pm

latin? layers?

2:37 pm

* little known fact: crapola is a division of Crayola, only they make really bad crayons that break a lot and smell like feet.

2:37 pm

stid, rootbeer & icecream

2:37 pm

bye!

2:37 pm

"This very night with baited breath and muffled *** Without a light as still as death we'll steal ashore."

2:37 pm

LOL, boreetos, see you later

2:37 pm

st+vermin+plural ending?

2:37 pm

lol boreetos

2:38 pm

douglas...um, to what was that reference?

2:38 pm

lol boreetos

2:38 pm

are you all having issues with babble not working or is it just moi?

2:38 pm

The singular of a o 4/4...From the first act finale of H. M. S. Pinafore.

2:39 pm

okay, thanks. got the 5 and 6, looking for the 8...

2:39 pm

No, jbp - take the last letter from the vermin to get the greek colonnade, then work the plurals from there.

2:39 pm

ah, gotcha

2:39 pm

to douglas. Haz, you've lost me again

2:39 pm

thank you, haz

2:40 pm

stid, it's more..... and there's an re+ related to them, too

2:40 pm

i got st***vowel

2:40 pm

aha! the fl 8 is a comparative! (i am so clever...)

2:41 pm

thanks for the re clue michelle!

2:41 pm

indeed, stid...more dead flshlike

2:41 pm

When I was in Edinburgh two weeks ago, I took a picture that include the Firth of *****

2:41 pm

Okay, have you got the st5/10 - the furry creature? Take away the last letter, you have a greek colonnade (who'd have thought?). Then you can make it a latin plural by adding a vowel, then replace it with another vowel for another st5/10

2:41 pm

kierlex - babble's been having troubles on and off for several days

2:41 pm

all ya'lls clues are harder thanthe babble =)

2:41 pm

ok, thanks hurshy...

2:41 pm

colin firth? you saw colin firth???

2:42 pm

oh, i was thinking of the vermin that rhymes with its predator...

2:42 pm

lol hursh

2:42 pm

n.p. stid, oh, kierlex, you wouldn't want to be handed the words, would you?

2:42 pm

thanks Haz!

2:42 pm

no but i get distracted by trying to figure out the clues and completely ignore the babble part =)

2:43 pm

that varmint is very British, mine's what Kierlx's icon hunts....

2:43 pm

thx haz, got those st's

2:43 pm

How do you tell the difference between a st5/10 and a weasel? A weasel is weasily recognised but a st5/10 is st***ally different.

2:43 pm

kibble?

2:43 pm

hehehe

2:43 pm

re 7 and 8 please

2:43 pm

bwah ha ha ha ha!!!

2:43 pm

again, thank you, haz. i am still listless so the clues from chat really (!) help.

2:43 pm

I saw neither Colin Firth nor the Firth of Colin!

2:44 pm

no kierlex. big big mousies

2:44 pm

oh HAZ! that's funny!! thanks

2:44 pm

LOL

2:44 pm

ROFL HAz!

2:45 pm

you know, i stayed home from work with a %@^%@ migraine but yet i am still able to babble LOL

2:45 pm

thanks jbp

2:45 pm

or, in the case of my 2 cats, they just sit on the mousies. and look confused

2:45 pm

hurshy, what are the in 6 and 7 combo that come before the 7-8 combo?

2:45 pm

oh kierlex -- hope your head/eyes/ears/tummy feel better soon...

2:46 pm

my cat brings them in half dead and then lets them loose where they miraculously recover and then we have to trap them

2:46 pm

Kierlex, I guess Babble rules.

2:46 pm

he has brought in snakes, bats, mice, squirrels and a baby bunny! i want to know how he caught the bat!

2:46 pm

yeah, my old cat Jarl used to drop them on the floor and then pick them up and play handball (pawball?) with them against the wall.

2:47 pm

thx stid, i am feeling better after taking some migraine drugs. as long as i do not move my head i am fine. thus, babble is perfect =)

2:47 pm

not the brightest bulb on the string was he

2:47 pm

babble has restorative properties!

2:47 pm

kierlex, what a cat! mine used to get mice & baby rats, then fully grown, but then we moved & now he just eats bugs & spiders & bees (also none too bright, but pretty)

2:48 pm

stidmama - add words relating to a particular type of lawsuit.

2:48 pm

yes. i am sure it does.

2:48 pm

in + a civil lawsuit

2:48 pm

fully grown rats, that is

2:48 pm

sorry i was over at sudoku

2:48 pm

2:48 pm

2:49 pm

ok, back to work with me, bbl

2:49 pm

thanks Haz

2:49 pm

well we finally closed the cat door and haven't had as much fauna left in the dining room. it was getting distracting accidentally stepping on dead critters and trying to explain the carnage to my 3 year old girl

2:49 pm

when I get married, between the 2 of us, there will be 4 cats and a dog...

2:49 pm

Do you teach English, Douglas?

3:49 pm

Vercotti: I had been running a successful escort agency -- high class, no really, high class girls -- we didn't have any of *that* -- that was right out. And I decided (phone rings) Excuse me (he answers phone) Hello......no, not now......shtoom...shtoom....right..... .yes, we'll have the watch ready for you at midnight.......the watch.....the Chinese watch....yes, right-oh, bye-bye.....mother (he hangs up phone) Anyway I decided to open a high class night club for the gentry at Biggleswade withInternational cuisine and cooking and top line acts, and not a cheap clip joint for picking up ***** -- that was right out, I deny that completely --, and one evening in walks Dinsdale with a couple of big lads, one of whom was carrying a tactical nuclear missile. They said I had bought one of their fruit machines and would I pay for it

3:50 pm

Alas, no, I'm teaching a computer networking class...

3:51 pm

Well you are highly literate (I almost want to say for a computer g***)

3:51 pm

jbp: baked goods are NOT the last ta's. There's a sing/plural that rhymes with a famous leaning structure.

3:52 pm

4:15 pm

peri: think of weaving... on a loom... warp and we++

4:16 pm

Firefly, because it ends in 'y' until turned into a comparative.

4:16 pm

Golux, don;t know much about weaving, but figured it out with your help, thanks

4:16 pm

pshaw :)

4:16 pm

tell the truth, i don't know anything about weaving either, except some of the terminology.

4:18 pm

wa7/44 - it is not comparative of wa4/8

4:18 pm

4:19 pm

Golux, thanks again

4:27 pm

something is messed up on the Lickety list... i'm looking for the last ta5/18, but it comes after the ta6/30, and I don't see any way a ta5 can come after that ta6 alphabetically

4:27 pm

st 6 just like straight and narrow alt. spelling only change the last vowel from the 1st vowel to the 3rd vowel

4:27 pm

str*** of Gibraltor, atmospheric layer,

4:28 pm

It works, Golux, use the same first three letters.

4:28 pm

ta 5/18 does come after the 6/30 same first 3 letters ends in 2 vowels

4:28 pm

Thanks. that's one of the 3

4:29 pm

ok, got it... i was doing the math wrong

5:04 pm

Nope, I see I'm missing the 5/18, 6/30 and last 5/18 for 'ta' and haven't found a sign of them.

5:04 pm

anders, ends like a fish appendage

5:04 pm

ta + the third person past-tense being verb (first three letters)

5:05 pm

3rd-person *plural* past-tense being verb, that is.

5:05 pm

merk, the 5/18 sounds like the to*** of london, change first vowel

5:06 pm

6/30 is the plural and the last 5/18 starts with the first 3 letters and ends with a suffix that makes it an adjective

5:06 pm

franmag, got it! ty.

5:06 pm

yw anders!

5:19 pm

oops, I meant for the "d"

5:19 pm

lmj, ci+hard work takes it's to** on your mind, then change last letter to an E

5:26 pm

As my friend jilkli put it earlier a wandering min**** who wastes my money

5:26 pm

hetty, the ta4/4s are coin and weight for cargo

5:27 pm

the second one takes the second vowel after tr--means a specail gift or titbit

5:27 pm

5:32 pm

Now i know what to call those coins cluttering up my drawers--

5:34 pm

thanks for the word lauren

5:34 pm

Thanks, oggy, I found the lost coin. Now I need the 2 ta5/18 's

5:35 pm

hetty first 5/18 sounds like to*** of london, change first vowel

5:35 pm

the last 5/18 has same first 3 letters then add suffix that makes it an adjective

5:36 pm

same as sa5/18 one of them the other change last 2 letters

5:36 pm

i need any of the st 6/18

5:36 pm

Thanks, Franmag

5:37 pm

lmj, first st6/18 sounds like something has been taken from you, but the last vowel is the same as the first

5:37 pm

St*** of Messina

5:37 pm

next st6/18 is a narrow body of water connecting two large bodies of water

5:37 pm

make that St****

5:38 pm

another st6/18 is layers

5:38 pm

thx fran & erda

5:38 pm

last st6/18 is a similar word with a different vowel at the end

5:38 pm

yw hetty and lmj

5:39 pm

thanks fran!

5:40 pm

all i need are the CHs, can i get a clue for the second or third ch6/24?

5:41 pm

yw lmj!

5:41 pm

Fran, ch 6 is a nerve disorder where you make involuntary movements

5:42 pm

ch6 is ch4/6 + opp of off

5:42 pm

thanks annie!!

5:42 pm

yw fran

5:42 pm

i have that one oggy, do you have the other next to it?

5:43 pm

fran, and plural

5:43 pm

thanks annie!

5:44 pm

ch + what bullfighters shout + hook letter

5:44 pm

thanks oggy, that was the one!

5:45 pm

then add a vowel, then pluralize it

5:45 pm

thanks erda, i saw all the rest as soon as i got that word!

5:46 pm

But of course, Fran!!

5:46 pm

I'm down to my last 2 and it's as always a question of blindness: to4/4 and another tr5/18

5:46 pm

tore

5:47 pm

which to4/4s do you have already hetty?

5:47 pm

first to4/4 is big to* + a vowel

5:47 pm

theres only 1 5/18

5:48 pm

the tr5/18 is to fish the way big fishing boats do

5:49 pm

tr510 is a characteristic...

5:49 pm

yay, i finished!!

5:49 pm

then make it pl. for the 6/18

5:50 pm

*****yay FranMag****!!!!!

5:50 pm

5:50 pm

ytg franmag

5:50 pm

yay, Fran! btw--oo-la-la! re: icon :-)

5:51 pm

nite oggy

5:51 pm

yes, quite opposite of your choice of handbag! ;-)

5:51 pm

I love your bag, libarebel

5:51 pm

Got the fishing technique, thanks very much.

5:52 pm

ty, annie :od

5:52 pm

how are you doing on the to4/4 hetty? there are so many of them

5:52 pm

hetty, do you need the metal lamp bases are made of???

5:53 pm

the ot is driving me mad ... any clues?

5:53 pm

anders, ot** refers to the ears, i think

5:54 pm

doh! was monkey-typing the wrong ot ...

5:54 pm

ot4/5--o + facial twitch

5:55 pm

Franmag, I have the one that's all vowels after the "t"; the one hat's a part og "hoity to**y!"; the 2 thgat add 2 different vowels afterv the stick; the one for the Jewish dance (Old Testament?) an4 others that feature the "r"

5:55 pm

anders, do you have it?

5:56 pm

got it thanks so much

5:56 pm

that looks like all the 4/4s hetty, maybe it's a higher point 4 that you need

5:56 pm

hetty, t*** t + what bullfighters say

5:57 pm

With my crazy typing trhat probbaly doesn't add up to a lot of sense-- in my list the missing to4 comes between the 2 with the "l" plus either "e" or "u''

5:58 pm

I have 6 to**s -- is that it?

5:58 pm

hetty, there isn't one there, i think you're missing the to4/7 that sounds like what miss muffet sat on

5:58 pm

so I have the word you've clued, Annnie, and also a word that looks like TOFU gone wrong. What's between them?

5:59 pm

six to 4/4s, I mean

5:59 pm

searching, dont have the list, will try

5:59 pm

erda, there are 7 to4/4s, but more 4s with higher points

6:00 pm

ahhh -- thank you, Fran

6:00 pm

erda, also a to4/5 and a to4/7

6:01 pm

I have a th 5/12 that rhymes with fur wrap. Could you guys clue me the other?

6:01 pm

Youre right, Franmag. As so often happens I had ordered my words wrongly. I wouldn't ever finish without the help you pals so willigly give. Now can I give something back, please?

6:01 pm

anders, add a consonant to the th4/5 that sounds like a man's name

6:02 pm

It rhymes with "viol"

6:02 pm

yay hetty!!!

6:02 pm

*******congrats, hetty**********!!!!!

6:02 pm

Unless of course it sounds like a man's name---

6:03 pm

I've got quite a few of them that log on from home to play as well. This is generally the one that they use in class. I just log on and leave it on during the day. When they've got a few minutes they stop in and put a few words down.

8:32 pm

I know it's not your responsibility but we did tell her we would have you read the log

8:32 pm

Are the kids polite enough? I always worry that they'll be rude.

8:32 pm

Yeah I've tried to teach them, but you know how kids are, they don't listen.

8:32 pm

The rest of the kids have been great

8:33 pm

they were extremely rude. would they be allowed to go to someone's house and insult the guests?

8:33 pm

Excellent. So was it just that she wasn't reading the log or was she rude?

8:33 pm

s said jillibus? And was it on this log on or their own personal ones?

8:33 pm

miss abs, I didn't see Lucinda, but the ones who were on a while ago were just annoying, not rude

8:33 pm

no we want YOU to read the log - she was horrible

8:33 pm

on this log, miss abs, sorry to report

8:34 pm

What was said jillibus is what that was supposed to read.

8:34 pm

ah okay let me go look really fast.

8:34 pm

8:34 pm

And she was changing her screen name and being even ruder.

8:58 pm

8:58 pm

Hoping for hints re the last 2 tr5's.

8:58 pm

in 6/7 combo?

8:58 pm

really? I thought it was grand ** opry?

8:59 pm

if the Time Machine clue doesn't do it for you, it's part of one of Jesus' final words: **** **** lamach sabacthani

8:59 pm

opry.com says no, sorry.

Hello everyone.

8:59 pm

oh, I had the right sound, but there's an E at the end, tx pwinn

9:00 pm

Layne, are you here?

ooops...sorry

9:12 pm

st4/8 oops

9:12 pm

jf - You'll soon be sailing through grids like we old hands, barring new and weird words and dratted 'obvious' but missed plurals. (Which is the way of things! LOL)

9:13 pm

hi rebekb!

9:13 pm

pwinn, thanks, got it

9:14 pm

I hope so. Used to be I could barely clear 100 on a 200 word + grid. Now at 142, slowing, but still not ready to hit the list...

9:14 pm

peri, not ready for action

9:14 pm

Helenary - st4/8 - to be fixed or stay in place. Think of an 'st' animal bedding and remove the 3rd letter.

9:14 pm

there have been some good clues flying, jfarber

9:15 pm

thanks Jac!! great clue.

9:15 pm

wa7?

9:15 pm

Speaking of using or not using lists, and at what point people use them, there is a thread on BabAnon set up to discuss just that, if anyone is interested in contributing to it.

9:16 pm

st5/10 got 2 wierd ones

9:16 pm

Ture dat. Thanks to all on behalf of myself and a dozen dozen other lurckers for the hi5/12.

9:16 pm

I think I'm about to resort to the list, at 66 words to go. :(

9:16 pm

LeslieAnn - wa7 = a layabout, useless person, or a spendthrift.

9:17 pm

warthol

9:17 pm

sto5/10 how do you find those sticky ones??

9:17 pm

wa7--one who squanders, last part rhymes with mim*****-- a wandering musician

9:17 pm

pwinn, have you finished one since the almost-under-the-wire act last week?

9:17 pm

IC 5 and 6???

9:17 pm

Helenary - the 'not weird' st 5/10 is a past tense of a word for theft.

9:17 pm

um minstre :-O

9:17 pm

LA, no, it seems that Dr_God is conspiring against me or something.

9:18 pm

minstrel :-[]

9:18 pm

9:18 pm

9:18 pm

9:18 pm

good 4 U, LeslieAnn!

9:19 pm

Bah, what a load of nonsense! My schedule tomorrow remains unaffected in the slightest by the numbers.

9:19 pm

feather, and just to finish my thought on all things HO***, he was the young cute guy who the girl fell in love with in Magnificent Seven (Chico)... there, now I feel better for knowing who he was :)

9:19 pm

bleugirl - The ic's - old Babble favourites. They are: 1. Greek Mythology. The rarefied fluid said to run in the veins of the gods. 2. Pathology. A watery, acrid discharge from a wound or ulcer.

9:19 pm

ic + a crass word for a streetwalker mispelled

9:19 pm

ichto

9:20 pm

9:20 pm

re 7/40 please?

9:20 pm

you got the first three letters, bleu ;)

9:20 pm

Oh yes, 6/6/06 - and a remake of 'The Omen' is being released. Have to wonder why they did a remake. The original is still fine.

9:20 pm

(but I had to call my mom and dad to get that info)

9:20 pm

last wa4/8?

9:20 pm

Thx

9:20 pm

feather, re 7 is put on water again

9:21 pm

cathyar, wa 4/8 is electrical term, but undouble the consonant

9:21 pm

re7/40 & plural 8 - to get a boat seaworthy again.

9:21 pm

ahh, thanks

9:21 pm

I'm not sure which is more an affront to good taste: the Omen remake or the new "Left Behind" book, both due tomorrow. But I'll shut up now.

9:22 pm

Cathyar - last was4/8 - sounds like what light bulbs have but with less tea.

9:22 pm

I never saw the original Omen, because that stuff scares the crap out of me. I saw previews for this one, and again, even the preview scares the crap out of me.

9:22 pm

okay, I'm down to 4... does anyone have a clue for to4,7 pretty please?

9:23 pm

ahhh...got it...thanks jac

9:23 pm

Hi everyone!

9:25 pm

9:25 pm

9:25 pm

help please with the th7/32's

9:25 pm

I don't know the Jewish alphabet (which is the one used for the number of Th Beast) well enough, but I assume the name 'Damien' adds up to 666? Can anyone tell me if this is so?

9:26 pm

thanks nrkii

9:26 pm

cathyar, in + legal term (sounds like a word for cake)

9:26 pm

Jac, with enough effort, anything can add up to 666. Hebrew interesting that way.

9:26 pm

Jacula, I'm going to hide under the bed now

9:26 pm

to4/7?

9:26 pm

Helenary - you know the word you posted for the past tense of theft when you said you couldn't find it? Take the last letter off!

9:26 pm

peri, th 7 32 -- a warning that something bad will happen

9:27 pm

Thanks, kids. Quitting @ 130 words. Majority before logging on, rest due to y'all! Nitey nite!

9:32 pm

9:33 pm

9:33 pm

It seems all I need do is ask, and it leaps to my mind. Sigh.

9:33 pm

Harp - Hi! to8 is much warmer.

9:33 pm

harpjane, if you are in at the fireplace, you are warm and TO****, when you've been there for a while, youare even TO******

9:34 pm

pwinn - That happens to Periwinkle, too! LOL.

9:34 pm

sorry wrong box!!

9:34 pm

thanks, didn't have the to5 either.

9:34 pm

helenary, use the theft one, but drop last vowel and add opposite of OFF

9:35 pm

9:38 pm

clues at 9:33, cathy

9:39 pm

Helanary - 1st st6/18 - A shoot that bends to the ground or that grows horizontally above the ground and produces roots and shoots at the nodes.

9:39 pm

helenary - took something that doesn't belong to you, minus last vowel, plus "rub off, rub **"

9:39 pm

ahh...tks leslie

9:39 pm

(Sounds like a Christmas Scandanavian loaf.)

9:39 pm

ST + Grand **e Opry + opposite of OFF

9:40 pm

thanks again, everyone... :) I'm off to rummage for dinner.

9:40 pm

night gira!

9:41 pm

I like the word 'rummage'! LOL.

9:42 pm

yes Jac, it fits how I usually scrounge for dinner too

9:43 pm

Well, nrkii, if you have any probs working out what to do with what you find in the cupboards/fridge/freezer just ask on my Recipes thread on BabAnon. I can do something culinary with most things. LOL.

9:44 pm

good to know!

9:44 pm

I'm watching tv and babbling...at the risk of offending anyone, can I just express how much I detest feminine hygiene commercials of any kind!!!

9:45 pm

Layne?

9:45 pm

Could someone clue me on the ICs? i'm stumped!

9:45 pm

having trouble with the st 6/18s. i have one that sounds like co***, part of the digestive tract, and i have dire st****s

9:45 pm

'Rummage' is most normally used here in UK for what women do in their handbags whilst trying to locate something, or what men appear to be doing when they have their hand down their underpants. LOL.

9:45 pm

kristinc, probably as much as I hate the phrase - and if your erection lasts longer than 4 hours, please consult your doctor!

9:46 pm

feather - do you have the layer of rock

9:46 pm

And as exciting as that might seem to women, after about an hour or two, we are done; )

9:46 pm

no! aha!

9:46 pm

lol joey and jac! and yes...who wouldn't consult their doctor :)

9:47 pm

and got the other one like it just now, thanks ping

9:47 pm

Kristinc - I agree! Especially at meal times. They don't need to advertise the products because we women have to use them anyway (not the deodorants, but the pads etc.) Anyway, a hobby horse of mine is that women cannot help the need to use pads and that if we ruled the world those products would be FREE, like condoms are!

9:48 pm

Yeah, if we were all pregnant, we wouldn't need them!

9:48 pm

15 left, all Ts

9:48 pm

Jac, believe it or not, they are where I work

9:48 pm

I was trying to tune the generally male-unfriendly babble, but, um, condoms are free?

9:49 pm

Yeah, go to planned parenthood or just about any night cloub

9:49 pm

dinoshadow - True, but we'd need 6 weeks' worth at the end of each pregnancy.

9:49 pm

Ah, in the UK perhaps.

9:49 pm

gooooo feather!

9:49 pm

sa5/18?

9:49 pm

tee hee jac...grrreat point! :) that's my issue w/ the commercials...do they really need to advertise any of it...if I need something, I'll buy it...okay, off my soapbox now

9:49 pm

pwinn, not male unfriendly, just advertising unfriendly I think

9:49 pm

Also good point. I guess I wasted a bunch of money, back in the day.

9:49 pm

sorry pwinn...I started it all ;)

9:50 pm

sa5/18 someone who uses a sa*

9:50 pm

never mind...found it

9:50 pm

pwinn - Male unfriendly? Babble? Not normally!

9:50 pm

I should never watch tv w/ annoying commericals and babble :)

9:50 pm

my babble screen froze so I couldn'thank youall for th help..thanz..done!!!

9:50 pm

perhaps male unfriendly as in males don't want to hear about it any more than we do? hee

9:50 pm

yay helenary!!!!

9:50 pm

Oh, I know. I'm not actually sensitive or anything, I just didn't have much to contribute to the discussion of the economics of pads, exception for economics, and that's boring.

9:51 pm

st4/8?

9:51 pm

oops...got that 1 too

9:51 pm

thands dino! babble's giving away condoms tonight?

9:51 pm

pwinn...now don't even get us started on the whole economics of the issue :)

9:52 pm

ch8 help?

9:52 pm

SMALLER!!! hey

9:52 pm

smaller...arrived just in time, kristin's stirring the pot, making trouble, etc

9:52 pm

Re advertising on TV stations. First, I must ask, to you ave to pay a TV licence in US? Ours in UK (for the BBC, and we have no option about paying it) is nearly £200 now. Adverts pay for the TV stations.

9:52 pm

wa7?

9:53 pm

No TV licenses here, no.

9:53 pm

We don't pay for TV except for direct tv or cable

9:53 pm

Our "public television" is voluntarily supported.

9:53 pm

JOEY!!!!!!!!! Kristin - as always you rebel!

9:53 pm

Harp - wa7 - an idler, spendthrift or waste of space type person.

9:53 pm

jac...we don't pay anything directly that I know of but I'm sure there are unofficial federal costs already built into our taxes

9:53 pm

how are you, smaller, I am ok - just beat! 11 to go

9:54 pm

Hello Smaller! Long time no 'see'!

9:54 pm

joey, me too. did a marathon on saturday.sore in a gazillion places. how are the baseballers?

9:54 pm

Jac, that clue didn't help me - any more on wa7?

9:54 pm

okay, I'm having issues w/ the layer of rocks clue...I clearly must not be spelling it right, can anyone give me a blatant clue?

9:55 pm

hooray for smaller and her marathon!

9:55 pm

ST + rodent + first vowel

9:55 pm

From what my kids tell me (they have been to USA, I have not) the ad breaks are legendaryily long!

9:55 pm

layers of rock = (beaten to it)

9:55 pm

smaller - they are losing tonight - but still cute

9:55 pm

Hey Jacula - cute little kitties!!!!

9:55 pm

and then same beginning but different vowel at end

9:55 pm

Definitely, Jacula. I don't actually watch TV as a result.

9:55 pm

Then can be like 4 minutes long at times, Jacula

9:55 pm

Have I just invented a new word for Babble? Does the word 'lengendarily' exist?

9:55 pm

thank you...I had the completely wrong word, thanks!

9:55 pm

how did you do in the marathon - that is great.

9:55 pm

Tivo is your friend

9:56 pm

generally, a 30 minute program has 8 minutes of commercials and a 60 minute program has about 15 minutes of commercials

9:56 pm

and by the way, the number of places I'm sore is exactly how many $%^*-ing st words are in the grid

9:56 pm

TIVO is wonderful

9:56 pm

back to the ch8 and wa7 clues, please ;)

9:56 pm

it's how I play babble and watch baseball at the same time

9:56 pm

yeah, way too many commericals...only thing they're good for...potty and food breaks. Thats why I like pbs

9:57 pm

wow like a real marathon? like 26 miles??

9:57 pm

When watching shows on DVD, one learns that a 60 minute show actually takes up 42 minutes, meaning 18 minutes of commercials!

9:57 pm

Dino - wa7/44 = wa4/8 + first three letters of people in your family.

9:57 pm

ch 8 is plural of diseases --- there was a movie called Love in the Time of CH*****

9:57 pm

thanks kristin!!! joey- oh they play for points? i thought the diamond was like a male runway

one of the last 2 fl 6/27's pls...not sure which...I think it's the very last one

9:57 pm

Yeah, it is nice to tivo a show and watch an hour show in 40 minutes (cut out credits)

9:57 pm

yes pwinn, it can be up to 18 mins -- standard used to be 15 to 16

9:57 pm

change the last letter of the other, daisy?

9:58 pm

For Jac's benefit, PBS is our public television. Voluntarily supported, no commercials (except between shows, sometimes)

9:58 pm

yes, they play for points, but yes, it is a runway too, it is neat

9:58 pm

english and latin plurals both daisy

ok ty LeslieAnn:)

9:58 pm

and done!

9:58 pm

pwinn, and when they're doing fundraisers, which is just about every day

9:58 pm

Hey LeslieAnn, yep on the 26 miles and the first have is much easier than the second half. lolololol. oh it hurts to type

9:58 pm

half not have

9:58 pm

oel

9:58 pm

nrk -- Hee!

9:59 pm

wow i am super impressed. i am planning to run a 5k this month and am a little worried!

9:59 pm

hooray feather!

9:59 pm

yay featherbee!

9:59 pm

yeah feather!!

9:59 pm

you beat helen! ;)

9:59 pm

No one! I mean NO ONE can be aching as much as me (or rather my butt is!). I went to the first Monsters of Rock Festival in a decade with my daughter last Saturday. I anticipated every emergency except that of being 49-years' old and having to sit on hard ground all day. OUCH!

9:59 pm

Congrats, FBee!

9:59 pm

I love living in Colorado - I get to go out and hike to 8000 ft within 10 minutes of the house

10:00 pm

Mind you, my daughter was ready to give up/in before I was!

10:00 pm

1st sa4/4?

10:00 pm

ok i love and miss you all dearly but I have to go whimper and moan with a bowl of ice cream happy babbling!!!!! have a good night!!!

10:00 pm

Jac, who did you see?

10:00 pm

bye smaller!

10:00 pm

However, once we'd both run out of body parts to lean on that weren't hurting a million times over, we went home. LOL.

10:01 pm

enjoy your ice cream - have a good night

10:01 pm

take care smaller...three words: friend's hot tub

10:01 pm

jac...way to outlast the youngins'

10:01 pm

feather, congrats!!

10:01 pm

lol, had to take a minute and catch up on the tv talk earlier

10:01 pm

night smaller!

10:01 pm

Joey - Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, Ted Nugent (still as foul mouthed as ever!), Roadstar, Queensryche and a few others.

10:02 pm

now...just missing an st5/10...somewhere around the 3-5th one...not sure which

10:02 pm

I have never heard of wa7 before... weird

10:02 pm

stoae

10:02 pm

ooh, great concert, Jac - lots of good music. I haven't seen a multiple line up for a long time

10:02 pm

yep, that's the one

10:02 pm

crap...sorry

10:02 pm

excuse me. I have a ques. tndaisy said "one of the last 2 fl 6/27's pls...not sure which...I think it's the very last one" What does that mean? What does it matter if it's last or first or ??? How do you know which it is?

10:03 pm

Cathyar: you have the st one regarding what you do at the beginning of a race?

10:03 pm

Could I please have some help with the ICs?

10:03 pm

lodestar, have you been to the lickety's babble clues link at the bottom of the page?

10:03 pm

gads...still need two r's and 22 t's!!!! ugh

10:03 pm

ok, gotta head to bed, night all!

10:03 pm

g'night feather!

10:03 pm

yes, I have

10:04 pm

ok, well the clues are in alphabetical order, so if someone has all of them they can figure out what you're missing

10:04 pm

lodestar - Daisy was probably using a stats list which lists the 1st 2 letters of the words and their scores in order. The reason that it matters is that if you have the words around the missing word, you can often work it out.

10:04 pm

ping, IC + 4 legged animal that pulls a carriage or sleigh, minus last letter (then single that)

10:04 pm

one of the ra4/4's....prob the 1st

10:04 pm

night feather!

10:04 pm

raot

10:04 pm

so long feather :)

10:05 pm

sleep tite feather

10:05 pm

argh! missing a gazillion tr's :)

10:06 pm

thanks nrkii so much!

10:06 pm

Or, Lodestar - she may have just completed the puzzle, like I did some hours ago (almost a day ago now) and so she knows how to clue you in.

10:07 pm

they're not that bad, kristin - a horse gait, tr** will lead you to two 5's, trick or tr*** to a 6

10:07 pm

lol LA...those are the only 4 I have :)

10:07 pm

ra4/4... please? i have the rodent

10:08 pm

harrumph, at least there's five there, a different letter on the end of the horse gait?

10:08 pm

Ping - the ic's both start with the German word for 'I, me, myself', and then go on to a 2-letter word for an alternative (and its plural in the case of the ic plural word).

10:08 pm

also a characteristic - a tr*** and plural

10:08 pm

OK... Leslie & Jacula. I am feeling dumb and dumber. For instance: on Lickety's list there are four fo4,7s. I see people asking which one someone needs when they ask for a clue. Am I being thick-headed?

10:08 pm

yep...you're right, got the horse gait plus the 2 point letter and the tr 4/7

10:09 pm

okay, only missing only the tr 5/18 now harrumph is a cute word :)

10:09 pm

Cathyar - ra4/4 - a type of ray, a skate. Fishy word.

10:10 pm

hi everybody! got four to go

10:10 pm

loadstar, there could be foal four and fowl - and they would be fo1 fo2 and fo3 based on third letter

10:10 pm

thanks, jac!

10:10 pm

i think that's why she was guessing, lodestar. i think in those cases people just guess. like, for example, if the fo 5/18 was a plural, you could figure the singular was the last fo 4. if there's other numbers in between you can figure it out.

10:10 pm

(Sounds like the earth goddess!)

10:10 pm

i have 11 left

10:10 pm

go go lmj!

10:10 pm

got a clue for the re 5/16?

10:10 pm

and ping!

10:11 pm

i've yet to see fireworks

10:11 pm

re5/16 - to measure someone up for an outfit again, or to do a venue anew.

10:12 pm

thanks, leslie

10:12 pm

Shops sometimes close for re***s.

10:12 pm

awwww, that one was staring me in the face, thanks jacula!

10:13 pm

need ch 5/14, i have the one that's a household ch***

10:13 pm

Thanks everyone. I'm still not sure I understand, but I'll keep my eyes out for an example tomorrow when I'm not so tired. It's my bedtime now. Thanks again.

10:13 pm

th 6/21? (not the warning, or a sore th****)

10:28 pm

Sleeky - The man 'deciding' what sex a child is has rankled with me since I found that out at about the age of 12. Then they taught us about Henry VIII who beheaded and divorced wives for not 'giving' him a son! Serves him right that the only son he got was a weakling and that both his daughters were very strong women! LOL.

10:34 pm

Think of chiffon scarves... the thinnest one that blows in the breeze the highest is the fl8 iest!

10:34 pm

that is a piece of fur worn around the neck

10:34 pm

or to take something without paying

10:34 pm

10:34 pm

10:43 pm

10:43 pm

re5/16 - a tailor does this when you go bak to try on an outfit.

10:43 pm

10:44 pm

10:44 pm

10:45 pm

st6/18--things cast about a room have been st****

10:45 pm

leslie, i'm not sure what so many of these TO words mean that it's hard to say - maybe the ** girl - not sure what that is

10:45 pm

Hi Helen.

10:45 pm

10:47 pm

btw, pwinn, like your caught in the act icon! LOL

10:48 pm

Hello all just popping back in to see how things are going.

10:48 pm

Helen - maybe not. Sometimes taking a break and going off to do other things bings a fresh eye to the grid. It's up to you though.

10:48 pm

must agree with jac, adorable icon pwinn

10:48 pm

hooray to ping!

10:49 pm

Thanks, jacula. There was a story that went with it. I should have saved it.

10:49 pm

i'm missing 3 st 5/10s in a row. after the 2nd 4/4. Any help?

10:49 pm

oh, an hi!

10:49 pm

yeah you should have! ;)

10:49 pm

10:49 pm

you're right jacula, maybe i should get up again & get popcorn (but this time won't be gone for 4 hours, lol)

10:49 pm

10:49 pm

LA, do you remember who had the story yesterday? Or was it the day before?

10:49 pm

10:49 pm

10:50 pm

st5/10--to begin

10:50 pm

hi wassssss!

10:50 pm

10:50 pm

hi libarebel :)

10:50 pm

st5/10--to gaze

10:51 pm

i think saphyre had already left. jilli appreciated it, though

10:51 pm

st5/1 to have taken wrongly

10:51 pm

We had a chat about netiquette and unless I'm playing here as well I'm going to disable the chat function so that the "mouthing off" won't happen again and ruin this place for people.

10:51 pm

ah, thanks leslie

10:51 pm

hey helen!!

10:51 pm

ah okay good, well the girls were absolutely mortified that I'd "found out" and hopefully that'll make an impact on their behaviour.

10:51 pm

st5/10-- a marketplace

10:51 pm

here is the cat-dog story, scroll down to "dark and stormy night" http://www.masternewmedia.org/2003/06/ 16/dark_and_stormy_night_can_art_and_p oetry_be_blogged.htm

10:52 pm

netiequette - i've never heard that before -cute

10:52 pm

miss abs, maybe you can point out to them that the chat logs are all saved and you could check them at any time. that may help.

10:52 pm

how are you helen?

10:53 pm

Miss ABS - I did disable chat myself the last time your students were in there. However, I don't really care or bother about what they say to each other but it's when they post words that bothers me, especially if I'm just starting out on a grid.

10:53 pm

st5/10 -- st + 1st vowel + 3rd vowel

10:53 pm

i'm good wass, but tired from having to do too much & not having enough time - still have lots to put in the garden

10:53 pm

Ah, 'twas you, Leslie. Thanks.

10:54 pm

oops, st + 1st, plus round. + 3rd

10:54 pm

Yeah, I agree and I told them off for that too. They just have no idea, I don't know where their parents are they're too young to be turned loose.

10:54 pm

and how are you wass

10:54 pm

I did see some kid (dunno who, but one of theAussie lot) saying to another, 'All I have to do is delete my posts now.' Maybe it should be pointed out to them that any posts made on this site cannot be deleted.

10:55 pm

I did tell them that Leslie and they panicked. Hope that helps, and please, if any of them are rude or doing something just let me know.

10:55 pm

i pretty much wasted my day today. took a benadryl at 12:30 because my eyes were really itchy from my hay fever. I fell asleep for 3 hours. luckily, the kids were both really tired and hung out in their room coloring and stuff

10:55 pm

oh well, at least it wasn't as bad as the one class who was all on at one time and talking to each other about who was in love with who else, with lots of "u's" and "2's" and that sort of thing

10:55 pm

lol - 3 hours, that sounds great ! :)))

10:56 pm

I don't think they understand that it doesn't make them look "tough" to do stuff like that, but it makes them look like silly little children. I mean, no one else speaks like that on here and no one ever puts others down. They're the only ones I've seen.

10:56 pm

Anyway, hope all is cleared up. I told them that if they signed on again they'd better apologize right up front and say that it wouldn't happen again and just get on with playing. IF they wanted to chat to use MSN and not the chatbox because it wasn't their personal chat.

10:56 pm

awww, it looks like i missed some excitement

10:56 pm

wassup - don't stress over that, as my daughter would say. That's life. (Know what you mean though!)

10:56 pm

hope you feel better, wassup :O|

10:57 pm

it was, but i'm still exhausted. i'm just glad today was the last day of preschool. we have "reformances" as the kids are calling them on tues and fri and then i'm done driving around like a maniac for the summer

10:57 pm

thanks jacula, felt guilty for sleeping through a nice sunny afternoon

10:57 pm

Yeah helen some of my kids stirred things up being extremely rude to babblers

10:58 pm

last fe 5/16?

10:58 pm

I'm off to babble for a couple minutes before the bell rings and round three starts for the day. Have a good one all and please don't hesitate to contact me if my students cause any problems. Good luck all.

10:58 pm

ahoy-hoy!

10:58 pm

Oh, LOL! Ain't life a blast?

11:01 pm

:-D, just a wiseass, isABS!

AR 6&7 is not annointed but sounds like it
